We – Madridistas – will never forget this year. No one can believe what happened. But it did!

March the 11th, Nou Camp, FC Barcelona (3-3):
– We had just been kicked out of the Champions League 3 days before.
– We were 5 points behind them.
– Ruud van Nistelrooy scored two goals in the first half but Lionel Messi did that too.
– Oleguer was sent off with two yellow cards. One on a penalty foul to Guti, one on a reckless challenge to Gago.
– Sergio Ramos headed a brilliant goal to bring Real the lead but Messi’s efforts in the final minutes brought Barcelona 1 point, and kept the distance remain.

We won 3 matches after that (2-0 Gimnàstic, 1-2 Celta Vigo and 2-0 Osasuna) while Barcelona slipped out at La Romareda to Real Zaragoza. The distance was reduced to 2 points.
